Bush Cuts Off Diplomatic Relations With Congress
WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush announced Monday that his administration will permanently sever ties with the democratically controlled United States Congress, ending a nearly 220-year-old alliance between the two governmental branches.

"Our administration no longer recognizes the authority of this rogue body," said Bush in a televised Oval Office address. "Clearly, these combative men and women have a political agenda in direct opposition to our own. They have no concern for my national interests, and have left me no choice."
After six years of cordial relations between the executive and legislative branches of government, tensions flared up in January when Congress came under the control of "hostile new leadership." After a dramatic standoff last week over American policy in Iraq, the president openly denounced Congress, refused to accept calls from majority leaders, and returned Congress–approved legislation unsigned and unread.
In addition to his decision to cut off all communication, collaboration, and trade of ideas with the House and Senate, Bush also issued an executive order, effective immediately, removing all White House officials from the U.S. Capitol. Most prominent among those recalled was Vice President Dick Cheney, who also serves as the President of the Senate several days per year. Cabinet members who had been giving testimony before Congressional committees were quickly ushered to the roof of the Senate wing of the Capitol, where they boarded Marine One, the presidential helicopter, and were flown back to the White House. |

I LOVE The Onion. Wisconsin-born! 
I used to write for my school's satire paper, but it was more hassle than it was worth. |

| LOL. Hilarious. Of course, I find it even funnier that some people actually believe it. Just goes back to that whole bias people automatically have when reading news stories. |

The Onion is the greatest news source ever. (I love their "cheat to win" armband in the store. *snerk*)
I saw this article awhile ago. What's scary is that it may as well be true with the way things are going.  |

| I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen. It sounds like something totally reasonable, at least for the presidents twisted logic that is. |

Very very funny, i didn't notice the little * connecting to this part '* For those who don't know, The Onion is a satirical news magazine. The above article is just a joke; it did not happen.'. So for like 5 min. I was ranting and raving about the government and such to my cousin.
All is well now xD.
Great article, must buy Onion!!! |
